Even though Rumblefish only takes half of the licensing fee they still charge an additional 15% ‘administrative fee’ 50% – that additional 15% leaves you with what? 35%. Just like Pump Audio. At least Pump Audio is upfront about that. Also when you license music with Pump audio you can be sure that the licenses go through BMI or ASCAP and YOU get an additional check. I have had many songs licensed with Rumblefish and I can assure you that a lot of those licenses are not reported to ASCAP or BMI.

Have you had a chance to check out this licensing service? http://www.beatpick.com It seems very professional to me, and the music appears to be above average as well.

This is great information, just wanted to comment so those finding this post would know that Pump Audio was purchased by Getty Images and are changing their licensing split to 35% for the artist. Even more sketchy. Pump Audio = fail
